of the individual who will authorize the acquisition of the available capacity.

minimum quantity it will accept.
(3) The requested effective date and the term of the acquisition.
(4) The Bidding Shipper's bid, addressing all criteria required by the Releasing Shipper.
The Bidding Shipper shall be entitled to withdraw its bid either via GEMStm or EDM,
prior to the end of the bidding period, if such withdrawal is not due to lower bids
by other Shippers. Bidding Shipper cannot withdraw its bid after the Bidding
Period ends. If Bidding Shipper withdraws its bid, it may not resubmit a lower bid.
If Bidding Shipper submits a higher bid, lower bids previously submitted by Bidding
Shipper will be automatically eliminated. A Bidding Shipper may submit multiple
bids where the term or quantity involved in each bid is different. Transporter
shall post all information provided by Bidding Shippers, except the information
provided in Section 21.1(h)(1), above.
The bids for the given capacity release offer should adhere to the method specified
by the Releasing Shipper. The bidder may bid the maximum reservation rate in ANR's
Tariff as an alternative to the method specified by the Releasing Shipper, except
when the release is index-based for a term of one year or less or utilizes market-
based rates. No bid shall exceed the maximum applicable transportation rates, in
addition to any and all applicable fees and surcharges, as specified in this
Tariff, provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply to any bid for
release of capacity with a term of one (1) year or less and is to take effect on or
before one (1) year from the date on which the Transporter is notified of the
release. The quantity or the requested term of the release of such bid shall not
exceed the maximum quantity or term specified in the executed Agreement.
(i) Pre-arranged Release not subject to bidding. Releasing Shipper shall have the right
to release capacity to a pre-arranged Replacement Shipper without posting an offer
